#4 Reality
Admit it. Somewhere in the absolutely deepest, darkest, most perverse part of your brain, you enjoy a real fight. Which is why combat sports hold such appeal for you.
In today's WWE, blading is illegal. As a result, all the classic matches where blood was used to tell compelling stories of retribution, perseverance and commitment are far behind us.
UFC and other MMA promotions have no such inhibitions of course. Blood is a constant feature of many fights, and through blood, the audience becomes invested in fights to the fullest.
The sterile environment of WWE where blood is wiped away even when it trickles or the massacres that happen within the octagon in real combat? You decide!
#3 Crossover moves
Many professional wrestlers these days have backgrounds in MMA. Little wonder then, that we see a lot of MMA based offence used in professional wrestling, be they super stiff kicks, or even a variation of genuine MMA based submission holds on the mat.
When the professional wrestling fan switches to MMA, he/she will find a lot of moves from wrestling being used here.
Conversely, many MMA stars have started doing flips and other flashy moves, in the vein of professional wrestling. These are mostly to get a reaction from the audience and to pump them up during a fight. The new professional wrestling fans will find familiarity galore here.
